Fadd2 Ebadd2 Dbadd2 [2X] / / / / / /

Verse

Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon We could float among the stars together, you and I For we can fly we can fly

Chorus

Up, up and away My beautiful, my beautiful Balloon

Verse

The world's a nicer place in my beautiful balloon It wears a nicer face in my beautiful balloon We can sing a song and sail along the silver sky For we can fly we can fly

Repeat Chorus

Bridge

Suspended under a twilight canopy We'll search the clouds for a star to guide us If by some chance you find yourself loving me We'll find a cloud to hide us We'll keep the moon beside us

Verse

Love is waiting there in my beautiful balloon Way up in the air in my beautiful balloon If you'll hold my hand we'll chase your dream across the sky For we can fly we can fly

Repeat Chorus

Coda:

Balloon... Up, up, and away [repeat to fade]

N.B. there isn't a usable guitar fingering for those add2 chords - on Keyboard you'd voice them as 2nd/3rd/5th (e.g. Fadd2 => G/A/C) in the Right hand. Steely Dan would refer to this voicing years later as the "mu-major" chord.
